"My dream? A goal on my official debut," he told the club's official website. "We are working hard to be ready to challenge for both the Europa League and the Scudetto.

"It was important not to leave Celtic Park with a defeat ahead of our match against Hajduk Split on Thursday. I scored a nice goal after the ball arrived very quickly to me. "
